SendKeys.SendWait doesn't works

Question

My target is to send keyboard events to external application. From my application, I'm launching a C# exe (console application) that bring the target application to the front and uses SendKeys.SendWait to send keyboards events. I ran into a rate case were the command don't have any affect. When debugging it, it works but when running it not in debug it fails. I think it as something to do with the fact that when debugging my application is the active application.

Answer 1

You'll need to do a little work, and it changes depending on the version of Windows. There's an MSDN page that has a good explanation and an example:
